About the Majisuka Gakuen Series

The Majisuka Gakuen Series (マジすか学園 シリーズ,,Majisuka Academy Series?) is a school drama series featuring the members of the AKB48 Group. The series focuses on the lives of "Yankee" (ヤンキー,"Yankee"?) (delinquent) girls during their senior high school years. It is the first school series to have the first three seasons be broadcasted from TV Tokyo, and the fourth and fifth to be broadcasted from Nihon TV.

The fifth installment of the drama was a continuation of the preceding season. The story of Majisuka Gakuen 5 was more expansive than the other installments of the series. Unlike the other seasons, it did not focus solely on school-age delinquents, but also involved the Yakuza and the police in the storyline.

NTV aired the first three episodes (called "volumes") of the season on August 24th, 2015. The rest of the season was only viewable on Hulu.

An alternate continuation from Season 4. In this timeline, Sakura has succeeded Salt as Rappapa President. After a girl with a red umbrella passed by Majijo, Majijo Principal Mori Satoru informed them that the school was financially in trouble due to it's primary benefactor declaring bankruptcy, which could lead to the school being shut down. Sakura, along with several followers from Majijo, temporarily leaves school to open a Cabaret Club (Kabakura) with the help of Center and the Legendary Kabakura Producer so that they can raise funds to save their school.
